Input Stream Management – where sustainability begins

How relevant is it to check
finished products? Do they indicate, if problematic substances were used in an
early stage-in process or if certain processes and production facilities are
environmentally inefficient? On the basis of these considerations the bluesign®
system has been established in 2000: bluesign® considers the production
processes as a whole. Therefore, the applied components and processes are
thouroughly audited. The aim of our so-called Input Stream Management is for unsustainable
substances not to enter the production cycle at all, but to be eliminated
first. The crucial point is not the number of manufacturers involved or the
number of processing steps. A clean process with sustainable ingredients is
decisive at the end of which a marketable product enthuses the customers. Input
Stream Management helps the textile business to produce in an environmentally
friendly and resource-efficient way combining both the economical and
ecological advantages to the benefit of everyone involved.
